Chapter 16, Problem 1P
Summary Introduction
To draw: To identify the sequence of model for the final assembly line to smoothly carry the production.
Introduction
Lean production is a system for the management in which it focuses on reducing waste, checking the quality, and all the efforts are put to fulfill the market needs. All the activities starting from manufacturing to distribution are managed efficiently through the lean system.

Top-Slice makes three different models: the Bomber, the Hook King, and the Sir Slice-A-Lot. As the names suggest, the last two clubs help correct for golfers who either hook or slice the ball when driving. While Top-Slice is pleased with the growing sales for all three models (see the following tables), the numbers present Jacob Lee, the production manager, with a dilemma. Jacob knows that the current manufacturing work cell is capable of producing only 2,700 drivers a month, and total sales seem to be rapidly approaching that number. Jacob’s staff has told him it will take at least three months to plan for and implement an expanded work cell. Develop a forecast for Top-Slice Company. Which forecast model works best? Why? Suppose information is received that makes clear that sales are expected to go down. How would this affect the choice of a forecasting model?arrow_forward
- Shorter production runs and multiple configurations of products do not work well in traditional manufacturing settings. Shorter runs require less material on the line. Most manufacturers still bring a full pallet to the line when needing only a third of the material on the pallet. As multiple product models flow through the assembly line, more pallets with parts for each model fill the work cell. These are necessary to accommodate quick changeovers on the line. The result is a high level of chaos. Aisles become more congested as traffic bringing (and returning) material to the line increases. Workers must use more steps to access the correct component for each model. The possibility of workers attaching the wrong material for the product model increases. Finally, safety issues rise. The good news is it is possible to reduce excess inventory and still meet production goals.
